Getting older has no cure, and the morning stiffness, soreness and inflammation was getting worse all the time, so I researched and eventually tried these. There are so many claims and discussions about the usefulness and specifics regarding turmeric and ginger supplements. Please read scientific sources that are trustworthy, & not just by this company to get honest data. I spent a lot of time, talked with my doc about it, and decided to try this for several reasons. It is made by a reliable lab, tested by a third party, and has no garbage ingredients or ridiculous miracle claims. After the first week of feeling nothing different, I slowly realized I was not moving as slowly when getting up, or having my assorted aches throughout the day and night. It was a slight, subtle difference over three weeks which gives me more confidence in its efficacy. After using these for two months, I can confidently tell you that they are in fact helping me a great deal. I like the taste of the bite of peppery ginger, but it is strong, FYI. I also am very careful to take them as directed, and was patient with my expectations. This is hard for me, because I honestly didn't expect a noticeable difference, even though the research is solid. I do think my energy is up simply because I feel better, but it could be from this supplement too. The main surprise is how much it has helped my general joint pain, swelling, and general soreness. It won't fix my spine, ruined in a car accident, it won't make me 25 again either, & I don't suggest you expect it to cure all your udgy ailments of aging either. However I must say I am confident in how much it is helping me, which is a necessary thing since it isn't cheap. I don't know how long you should give this to work for you or not, but I was willing to give it three months, and by the end of month one, I knew it was making a big difference in how I feel day to day, so I am continuing to take it faithfully. Luckily, I have had no ill effects, no GI issues, nothing, so it makes sense to continue something that seems to be helping. This specific supplement has all of the ingredients that my research has shown, and none of the extra baloney that other companies add in for whatever reasons. I also take a daily multivitamin, and that's all I take for my health as far as supplements are concerned. I've always been skeptical of nutritional, medical, or health supplements. I don't believe in any undocumented or wild miracle claims. That is another reason I like this company- they only give verifiable information and their ingredients are well sourced. Any company that asks you to just believe them- run away from. Unless there is some definite science backing each ingredient in a product, I don't want it in there. If you are looking for something to maybe help with the issues turmeric and ginger have been shown to assist some people with, this is a quality and legitimate company producing a product that is definitely helping me. I do recommend you try this as long as you research it for yourself, discuss it with an MD, even if you just do a tele med visit with an online unaffiliated physician. Be sure that there are no possible negative interactions with whatever else you are taking. I suggest if you are on any prescription meds, you also run it by your pharmacist as well. Please, do get a medical ok before trying any supplements as they can do severe damage beyond simply not helping! I am happily surprised by this product, I recommend it, and hope it helps you as it is helping me!
